smarter then your average Black

I suppose so, Lupin, for both your sakes. The sooner I’m out of here, the better.

Right….. Padfoot….just let it go, mate.

No truer words ever came out of your mouth, Snivly.

S’pose—but where’s the fun in pranking if you’ve no one to prank?

Pranking for the art of it, mate. That’s why we do it, isn’t it?

There's always someone to prank. And yeah what Moony said. The art of it mate. Geez Prongs get some fucking culture.

Abandoned, morelike. Never understood why everyone’s so desperate to get out of here over break… Look at this sorry bunch we’re left with.

Ha! I dunno, mate - guess they don’t know what they’re missing. …Oh? Y’know I reckon that’s not a bad idea, Prongs. What do you think, Padfoot?

I dunno. I for one like that all the losers clear out of here. Gives us much more elbow room. We can stretch out and enjoy our meals. ....Yeah not bad. I wouldn't mind getting into a bit of mischief already, been way to long.

'Least the Pitch'll be empty—

The Pitch? Whole castle’s empty, mate.

So what's first on the list? We gotta make this one count, last one you know.

Joking with you? Never. 

Oi! There you are, Padfoot,what - …..oh bloody hell. ….C’mon, mate, it’s not worth it. Let’s just go, yeah? Uh - ….train’s going to be leaving soon, Snape. You ought to go make sure you don’t miss it.

Of course it’s not. I’ve much better, Black, you’re simply not worth it.

Ha! Are you fucking kidding me, Snivellus? You telling me I'm not worth it? The fuck are you on?

Oh, me too. ..You alright?

Really? Good. Hmm? Yeah I'm fine. You?

Exactly. Oh, Hogsmeade went well, thanks.

Did it? I'm glad.

…Inward sigh.

Har, har, har, Snivellus. Is that the best you've got? I'll leave being concerned with James' arse to you. I know how badly you want that, we've all seen you staring. You do know you are allowed to bathe before the flies start dropping dead, right? Even you snakes shouldn't be that disgusting....

Oh..Just, sibling …I’ll spare us both, yeah? …I’m sure. I was at Hogsmeade, remember?

Eh, siblings.... Wha- Oh! That project yeah, yeah it went well..... How was Hogsmeade?

…I’m sorry. You probably don’t want to hear any of this.

......Nooo. If you uh....need an ear..... Great, of course. You?

Well, that’s the silver lining I guess.  Thank Merlin for the break from essays.

There ya go. Can't be all that bad....

….Right. Anyway, I’m sure you lot will have fun. I suppose so.

Always do. ...Come on Evans, can't be that bad. You won't have to worry with trying to catch us or struggling with essays at least.

Not that many clothes. I still needed to pack a few things.

Ha! Right. I can't imagine you  would. Yeah, it'll be good. Last Christmas at Hogwarts and all that jazz. You?
